Description

The GS1578A is a second generation high-speed BiCMOS integrated circuit designed to drive one or two 75Ω co-axial cables.

The GS1578A may drive data rates up to 1.485Gb/s and provides two selectable slew rates in order to achieve compliance to SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 344M and SMPTE 292M.

The GS1578A accepts a LVPECL level differential input that may be AC coupled. External biasing resistors at the inputs are not required.

Power consumption is typically 168mW using a 3.3V power supply. The GS1578A is Pb-free, and the encapsulation compound does not contain halogenated flame retardant.

This component and all homogeneous subcomponents are RoHS compliant.
